trigg one22Constellation Brands is set to start a new program called Nourishing Neighbours.

The large winery (formerly Brights, Vincor and Jackson-Triggs) has some unplanted land at one of our vineyard sites that we have decided to turn into a community garden. All the produce will be donated to the Oliver and Penticton Food banks. We are having a big planting day May 8th where employees can volunteer to come down and help plant all the crops.

“We have partnerships from other local businesses, Growers Supply and Tru Value Hardware agreeing to either donate the supplies or give them to us at their cost which was awesome says company spokesperson Nikki Campbell.

We have planted 3 acre area at our McIntyre vineyard site which is located at 1408 McKinney Road Oliver, BC (its just on the left as you’re heading up the OIB reservation towards Mt. Baldy, on the bench up above Cherry Grove Estates)

– We will be donating all produce to the Oliver food bank and the Salvation Army food bank in Penticton.

– They have requested that we focus on staple foods so we will be planting potatoes, carrots, onions, beets, squash, cucumbers, and melons. (We have had to adapt the spacing of many of these planting to work with the machinery that we have so our spacing is more spread out then a regular ground crop planting)
